Let me feel your gentle fingers
Running through my hair again
Help me to memorize
The way your body feels
And the fragrance of your skin
Like I said when I first met you
I have to live from day to day
Guess I was born to keep on moving
You're just a stop along the way
I know how well we fit together
Like words and music to a song
When I start wishing I was staying
Mama, I've already stayed too long
Let me feel your gentle fingers
Running through my hair again
Help me to memorize
The way your body feels
And the fragrance of your skin
While you're lying here beside me
So soft and warm to my touch
It makes it hard
To think of leaving
But it just wasn't meant for us
You watch the sunrise in the morning
And I'll be leaving with the dawn
But when I start wondering
If you'll miss me
Mama, I've already stayed too long
Mama, I've already stayed too long
